Default Faster with gears?
I installed 4.10 gears and it feels faster... anybody who has had a gear change knows what I mean I guess.

Anyhow my question is how much faster do these gears make the car? Does 0-60 change or 1/4 mile?

4.10 gears will knock about .5 off your quarter time over stock.

if 4.10's will knock off .5 is it safe to say 3.73's will knock a 2 possible 3/10's off?

Your only gonna knock of those kinda times if you've got sticky tires, traction will be limited with either the 4.10's or 3.73's

Agreed sticky tires are everything. Power is nothing without traction. I took off 4 tenths with my gears. (of coarse with traction)
